FF7 : A-E-R-I-S, A New World Waiting
A.N: Hello everybody!!! Sorry that the original A-E-R-I-S never really worked out and was removed, but I ran out of inspiration. I'm a Sephiroth worshipper; I couldn't pull myself to write a Cleris anymore. I'm sorry. Anyways, this is the new version: 'A New World Waiting'. Basically, Aeris dies and wakes up back at the beginning. What will she do when she re- meets Cloud, and everybody else? Kind of AU, cuz nothing happens the same as in the game. Vweeee! Hope you enjoy it!!
O-N-E : Never Again
Aeris awoke slowly from her prayer. Cloud stood, in front of her. She smiled. it was nice to see a friendly face after her chance meeting with Sephiroth in the city.
And then, pain.
The life poured slowly from her body as it was impaled upon the Masamune. Sephiroth sheathed his mighty sword and spoke menacingly to Cloud. Aeris couldn't make out what he said. slowly, everything faded away. forever.
"Forever?" "Yes, Aeris.! And I'll say it again; I don't want you selling flowers all your life. It's such a waste of talent." The voice that spoke to the young Cetra was female. Aeris was still a little sleepy, but recognized her surroundings. 'My house. but how?' She turned the thought over and over in her head. 'What happened.? I prayed. then felt Sephiroth's blade through me. I should be dead. right?' "Aeris, are you listening to me?" "Yes." 'This can't be real.' ". Elmyra."
Tired and confused, Aeris looked at the clock. The handy little thing had a date system as well as the usual time display. 'It's. the day I met Cloud for the first time.' She sighed, remembering how he'd bought a flower from her, and crashed through the roof of the church the next day, and rescued her from Shinra inc., and taken her around the world, and to the temple of her peoples knowledge. 'No.' she decided, 'I don't want to go through it all again.I don't want to fight anymore.' She went downstairs. Elmyra was sat reading a book. "Mom." Aeris started, "I won't be selling today. I don't feel well." "Oh. what is it?" "It's nothing serious. just a migraine." Elmyra chuckled, "It is so very strange. you only get migraines on important dates, like your birthday, when you met Zack, and the day your mother. ." she paused, "but I don't recall anything happening on the 19th of January, do you?" ". No. nothing," she lied. 'Of course something happened today, rather something will happen. today is the day my life changed - or changes - direction.Never again.' She frowned, 'I cant. I cant go through it all over.' "Is something the matter, Aeris? You look ever so pensive." "It's nothing. really." "Well. if you say so. Just get some rest, okay?"
A few hours passed by and it came dark. Elmyra opened the fridge. "Oh, darn it!" she muttered, "Aeris, we don't have anything defrosted for dinner. Could you go up to the plate and bring something back?" Aeris could hardly believe it. She tried to avoid meeting Cloud. But still, no matter what she did, it seemed she would just have to go into Upper Midgar. 'Fine, but I'm not going on that road. I'll go the long way.'
However, when she tried to take a longer route, the road was closed. 'Why?! Why do I have to go through all this again? No. wait. I don't have to. I can skip going to church tomorrow.' Taking the normal route, she crossed the road hurriedly, glancing up to see the Loveless posters were still there. But there was no Cloud. 'Maybe I'm early? Or late.? Does it matter??' she thought, with a smile.
Aeris left the store feeling much more confident. It wasn't to last for long though, for as she crossed that street on her way back home, she was knocked down by someone.
Someone male, with blonde, spiky hair.
